The grafting time and method of the latest peach trees

Peach trees are cultivated in large quantities in China and are one of the important economic fruit trees in China. Peaches are also our favorite fruits. They are generally listed in spring and summer and are deeply loved by people. When planting peach trees, grafting is mainly used, so when is the peach tree grafted well? How to graft? Let's take a look at the grafting time and method of peach trees together with Xiaobian.

1. Grafting time

Peach planting can be divided into spring planting and autumn planting, in which spring planting is generally carried out after the soil thaws and before germination, which is conducive to slow seedlings and will not cause freezing damage to seedling roots; autumn planting is generally carried out after autumn leaves fall and before the soil freezes, which is conducive to early germination in spring. The best grafting time was in the middle of March in spring, and the second time was in the middle of September in autumn. In production, more farmers like to graft in spring and summer, generally between February and April in spring, and between May and August in summer, the survival rate is relatively high.

2. Rootstock and scion selection

Rootstock to choose strong growth, no diseases and insect pests, stem thick to 0.5 cm above the peach seedlings, it has the characteristics of fast growth, after grafting very fast growth. The scion should select the new branches of peach trees with excellent varieties that have grown for more than 3 years, requiring smooth and tender branches, strong growth, no diseases and insect pests, full flower buds and consistent stem thickness. This is beneficial to the combination of the formation layer during grafting and improves the survival rate.

3. Grafting method

Prepare grafting tools, plastic bandages, knives, etc. There are many grafting methods in production, and the commonly used method is bud grafting. Select a bud eye on the rootstock, use a knife to annul once at the upper and lower 1 cm, reach the xylem deeply, and then peel off the bark and bud eye together. Then cut a bud of the same size on the scion in the same way, align it and press it into the peeled bud place, tightly fit, and then tie it firmly with plastic wrap.

4. Management after grafting

After grafting, check every 7-10 days, and remove the bud eyes of the rootstock mountain in time to concentrate nutrients and make the grafted buds grow vigorously. In addition, after the wound of the grafting part is healed, the plastic bandage strip can be removed to avoid overflow injury. After the grafting survives, the plant grows vigorously and needs a large amount of fertilizer. Fertilizer should be applied in time, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, and foliar fertilizer can be sprayed to promote the rapid growth of the plant.
